WHEREAS, the Managing Dealer desires to retain the Broker to use its best
efforts to sell the Shares, and the Broker is willing and desires to serve as a
broker for the Managing Dealer for the sale of the Shares upon the following
terms and conditions;
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and terms and conditions
thereof, it is agreed between the Managing Dealer and the Broker as follows.
1. Relationship.
(a) Subject to the terms and conditions herein set forth, the
Managing Dealer hereby retains the Broker to use its best efforts to sell for
the account of the Company a portion of the Shares described in the Registration
Statement, as specified on Exhibit A hereto. The Broker hereby accepts such
retention and covenants, warrants and agrees to sell the Shares according to all
of the terms and conditions of the Registration Statement, all applicable state
and federal laws, including the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and any and
all regulations and rules pertaining thereto, heretofore or hereafter issued by
the SEC and the NASD. Neither the Broker nor any other person shall have
any authority to give any information or make any representations in connection
with any offer or sale of the Shares other than as contained in the Prospectus,
as amended and supplemented, and as is otherwise expressly authorized in writing
by the Managing Dealer.
(b) The Broker shall use its best efforts, promptly following
receipt of written notice from the Managing Dealer of the effective date of the
Registration Statement, to sell the Shares in such quantities and for the
account of Company as shall be agreed between the Broker and the Managing Dealer
and specified on Exhibit A hereto, and to such persons and according to all such
terms as are contained in the Registration Statement and the Prospectus. The
Broker shall comply with all requirements set forth in the Registration
Statement and the Prospectus. The Broker shall use and distribute, in connection
with the offer and sale of the Shares, only the Prospectus and such sales
literature and advertising as shall conform in all respects to any restrictions
of local law and the applicable requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as
amended, and which has been approved in writing by the Company or the Managing
Dealer. The Managing Dealer reserves the right to establish such additional
procedures as it may deem necessary to ensure compliance with the requirements
of the Registration Statement, and the Broker shall comply with all such
additional procedures to the extent that it has received written notice thereof.
(c) The Broker shall be permitted to accept subscriptions for the
Shares by telephone from residents of those states identified on Schedule A
attached hereto and made a part hereof provided that: (1) the registered
representative and branch manager of the Broker execute the subscription
agreement on behalf of any investor who subscribes for Shares by telephone; and
(2) the Broker does not charge any additional fees, including but not limited to
fees relating to opening an account with the Broker, to any investor who
telephonically or orally subscribes for Shares. It is understood and agreed
between the Managing Dealer and the Broker that the Managing Dealer may, in its
discretion, change, modify, add to or delete from the list of states identified
on Schedule A. Any such modification shall be effective ten days from the date
written notice to the Broker has been mailed by the Managing Dealer. The Broker
shall not execute a subscription agreement on behalf of any investor who
subscribes for Shares by telephone unless such investor has specifically
authorized the registered representative and the branch manager of the Broker to
execute the subscription agreement on behalf of such investor and has made or
agreed to make full payment for all Shares covered by such subscription
agreement. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, the Broker
shall have no authority to make representations on behalf of an investor or to
initial representations contained in the subscription agreement on behalf of an
investor. In connection with telephonic or other oral subscriptions for Shares,
the Broker represents and warrants as follows: (i) that a Prospectus was
delivered to the investor before the investor made a decision to invest; (ii)
that the investor meets the suitability requirements set forth in the
Prospectus; and (iii) that, in compliance with the NASD's Conduct Rules, the
Broker has reasonable grounds to believe that the investment in the Company is
suitable for the investor, based upon information supplied by the investor to
such Broker. Further, the Broker shall explain to any investor from a state
identified in the Prospectus as having such additional requirements, that: (i)
the investor has the right to rescind such subscription for a period of at least
ten days following the date written confirmation of the subscription has been
received by the investor from the Company; and (ii) unless the investor rescinds
such subscription within the applicable period of time, the investor shall be
bound by the subscription agreement.
(d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in Section 2
of this Agreement, in the event that the Managing Dealer pays any commissions
and fees to the Broker for sale of one or more Shares, including, but not
limited to, those Shares sold pursuant to a telephonic or other oral
subscription therefor, where representatives of the Broker execute the
subscription agreement relating to such Shares, and the subscription is
rescinded as to one or more of the Shares covered by such subscription, the
Managing Dealer shall decrease the next payment of commissions or other
compensation otherwise payable to the Broker by the Managing Dealer under this
Agreement by an amount equal to the commission rate established in Section 2 and
Exhibit A of this Agreement, multiplied by the number of Shares as to which the
subscription is rescinded. In the event that no payment of commissions or other
compensation is due to the Broker after such withdrawal occurs, the Broker shall
pay the amount specified in the preceding sentence to the Managing Dealer within
ten (10) days following mailing of notice to the Broker by the Managing Dealer
stating the amount owed as a result of rescinded subscriptions.
-2-
(e) All monies received for purchase of any of the Shares shall be
forwarded by the Broker to the Managing Dealer for delivery to SouthTrust Bank
(the "Escrow Agent"), where such monies will be deposited in an escrow account
established by the Company solely for such subscriptions, except that, until
such time (if any) that such monies are deliverable to the Company pursuant to
the escrow agreement between the Company and the Escrow Agent, the Broker shall
return any check not made payable to "SouthTrust Bank., Escrow Agent" directly
to the subscriber who submitted the check. Thereafter, the Broker may accept
checks made payable to either the Company or the Escrow Agent. Subscriptions
will be executed as described in the Registration Statement or as directed by
the Managing Dealer. The monies shall be deposited or transmitted by the Broker
to the Managing Dealer no later than the close of business of the first business
day after receipt of the subscription documents by the Broker; provided,
however, that if the Broker maintains a branch office, the branch office shall
transmit the subscription documents and check to the Broker by the close of
business on the first business day following their receipt by the branch office
and the Broker shall review the subscription documents and check to ensure their
proper execution and form and, if they are acceptable, transmit the check to the
Managing Dealer by the close of business on the first business day after their
receipt by the Broker. Pursuant to the terms of the Managing Dealer Agreement,
the Managing Dealer will transmit the check or monies to the Escrow Agent by no
later than the close of business on the first business day after the check is
received from the Broker.
(f) During the full term of this Agreement the Managing Dealer shall
have full authority to take such action as it may deem advisable in respect to
all matters pertaining to the performance of the Broker under this Agreement.
(g) The Shares shall be offered and sold by the Broker only where
the Shares may be legally offered and sold, and only to such persons in such
states who shall be legally qualified to purchase the Shares. The Managing
Dealer shall give the Broker written notice at the time of effectiveness of
those states in which the offering and sale of Shares may be made, and shall
amend such notice thereafter as additional states are added; no Shares shall be
offered or sold in any other states.
(h) The Broker shall have no obligation under this Agreement to
purchase any of the Shares for its own account.
(i) The Broker will use every reasonable effort to assure that
Shares are sold only to investors who:
(1) meet the investor suitability standards, including the
minimum income and net worth standards established by the Company, and
minimum purchase requirements set forth in the Registration Statement;
(2) can reasonably benefit from the Company based on the
prospective investor's overall investment objectives and portfolio
structure;
(3) are able to bear the economic risk of the investment based
on each prospective investor's overall financial situation; and
(4) have apparent understanding of: (a) the fundamental risks
of the investment; (b) the risk that the prospective investor may lose the
entire investment; (c) the lack of liquidity of the Shares; (d) the
restrictions on transferability of the Shares; (e) the background and
qualifications of the officers and directors of CNL Income Corp., the
advisor to the Company (the "Advisor"); and (f) the tax consequences of an
investment in the Shares.
The Broker will make the determinations required to be made by
it pursuant to subparagraph (i) based on information it has obtained from
a prospective investor, including, at a minimum, but not limited to, the
prospective investor's age, investment objectives, investment experience,
income, net worth, financial situation, other investments of the
prospective investor, information gathered pursuant to the NASD's
anti-money laundering rules and the SEC's current books and records rules,
as well as any other pertinent factors deemed by the Broker to be
relevant.
-3-
(j) In addition to complying with the provisions of subparagraph (i)
above, and not in limitation of any other obligations of the Broker to determine
suitability imposed by state or federal law, the Broker agrees that it will
comply fully with all of the applicable provisions of the NASD's Conduct Rules,
and the following provisions:
(1) The Broker shall have reasonable grounds to believe, based
upon information provided by the investor concerning his investment
objectives, other investments, financial situation and needs, and upon any
other information known by the Broker, that (A) each investor to whom the
Broker sells Shares is or will be in a financial position appropriate to
enable him to realize to a significant extent the benefits (including tax
benefits) of an investment in the Shares, (B) each investor to whom the
Broker sells Shares has a fair market net worth sufficient to sustain the
risks inherent in an investment in the Shares (including potential loss
and lack of liquidity), and (C) the Shares otherwise are or will be a
suitable investment for each investor to whom it sells Shares, and the
Broker shall maintain files disclosing the basis upon which the
determination of suitability was made;
(2) The Broker shall not execute any transaction involving the
purchase of Shares in a discretionary account without prior written
approval of the transaction by the investor;
(3) The Broker shall have reasonable grounds to believe, based
upon the information made available to it, that all material facts are
adequately and accurately disclosed in the Registration Statement and
provide a basis for evaluating the Shares;
(4) In making the determination set forth in subparagraph (3)
above, the Broker shall evaluate items of compensation, physical
properties, tax aspects, financial stability and experience of the
sponsor, conflicts of interest and risk factors, appraisals, as well as
any other information deemed pertinent by it;
(5) If the Broker relies upon the results of any inquiry
conducted by another member of the NASD with respect to the obligations
set forth in subparagraphs (3) or (4) above, the Broker shall have
reasonable grounds to believe that such inquiry was conducted with due
care, that the member or members conducting or directing the inquiry
consented to the disclosure of the results of the inquiry and that the
person who participated in or conducted the inquiry is not a sponsor or an
affiliate of the sponsor of the Company; and
(6) Prior to executing a purchase transaction in the Shares,
the Broker shall have informed the prospective investor of all pertinent
facts relating to the liquidity and marketability of the Shares.
(k) The Broker agrees that it will comply with Rules 2730, 2740 and
2750 of the NASD's Conduct Rules.
(l) The Broker agrees to retain in its files, for a period of at
least six (6) years, information which will establish that each purchaser of
Shares falls within the permitted class of investors and will update all such
information as may be required under the NASD's anti-money laundering rules and
the SEC's books and records rules.
(m) The Broker agrees to comply with U.S. Department of Treasury
regulations (outlined in the Patriot Act) that require reasonable efforts to
verify the identity of new customers, maintain customer records, and check the
names of new customers against a government terrorist list. Further, to provide
the Financial Crimes Enforcement Network with information regarding: (1) the
identity of a specified individual or organization; (2) account number; (3) all
identifying information provided by the account holder, and (4) the date and
type of transaction, upon request. The Broker will manually monitor account
activity to identify patterns of unusual size or volume, geographic factors, and
any of the other "red flags" described in the Patriot Act as potential signals
of money laundering or terrorist financing. The Managing Dealer reserves the
right to reject account applications from new customers who fail to provide
necessary account information or who intentionally provide misleading
information.
-4-

finder's fees, commissions or other compensation to any persons engaged by a
potential investor for investment advice as an inducement to such advisor to
advise the potential investor to purchase Shares in the Company.
(o) The Broker either (i) shall not purchase Shares for its own
account or (ii) shall hold for investment any Shares purchased for its own
account.
(p) The Broker hereby confirms that it is familiar with Securities
Act Release No. 4968 and Rule 15c2-8 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934,
relating to the distribution of preliminary and final prospectuses, and confirms
that it has and will comply therewith.
(q) The Broker shall not in any way participate in, or effect the
sale or transfer of Shares in connection with, a tender offer with respect to
shares of the Company's common stock, whether or not such offer is subject to
Section 14(d)(1) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, other than
with the written consent of the Company and/or the Managing Dealer.
(r) Neither the Broker, nor any officer, director, employee or agent
of the Broker, shall disclose to any person, other than an officer, director,
employee or agent of the Broker, any password relating to a restricted website
or portion of a website provided to such Broker in connection with any offering.
Neither the Broker, nor any officer, director, employee or agent of the Broker,

of the Broker, any material downloaded from such a restricted website or portion
of a website.
2. Compensation of Broker.
The Managing Dealer shall pay the Broker, as compensation for all services
to be rendered by the Broker hereunder, a commission of up to 6.0% on sales of
Shares by such Broker, as set forth in Exhibit A hereto, subject to reduction as
specified in this Section 2 and the Prospectus. The Managing Dealer may reallow
to the Broker, from its due diligence expense reimbursements, up to an
additional 0.1% on sales of Shares by such Broker as reimbursement for bona fide
due diligence expenses incurred by the Broker, following such Broker's
submission of invoices supporting such expenses. From its marketing support fee,
the Managing Dealer may reallow to any Broker with whom it enters into a
separate agreement relating to the marketing support fee up to 1.5% on sales of
Shares by such Broker. Such commission rates shall remain in effect during the
full term of this Agreement unless otherwise changed by a written agreement
between the parties hereto. A sale of Shares shall be deemed to be completed
only after the Company receives a properly completed subscription agreement for
Shares from the Broker evidencing the fact that the investor had received a
final Prospectus for a period of not less than five (5) full business days,
together with payment of the full purchase price of each purchased Share from a
buyer who satisfies each of the terms and conditions of the Registration
Statement and Prospectus, and only after such subscription agreement has been
accepted in writing by the Company. Such compensation shall be payable to the
Broker by the Managing Dealer after such acceptance of the subscription
agreement; provided, however, that compensation or commissions shall not be paid
by the Managing Dealer: (i) other than from funds received as compensation or
commissions from the Company for the sale of its Shares; (ii) until any and all
compensation or commissions payable by the Company to the Managing Dealer have
been received by the Managing Dealer; and (iii) if the commissions or other
compensation payable to any broker-dealer or salesman exceeds the amount allowed
by any regulatory agency. The Broker shall not reallow any commissions or fees
to non-NASD members. The Company (and the Managing Dealer) may pay reduced
commissions and fees or may eliminate commissions and fees on certain sales of
Shares, including the reduction or elimination of commissions and fees in
accordance with, and on the terms set forth in, the Prospectus and the
Paragraphs of this Section 2.
The following persons and entities may purchase Shares net of 6.5%
commissions and the 1.5% marketing support fee, at a per Share purchase price of
$9.20 (assuming no other discounts apply): (i) a registered principal or
representative of the Managing Dealer or a Broker; (ii) employees, officers and
directors of the Company or the Advisor, or of the Affiliates of either of the
foregoing entities (and the immediate family members of any of the foregoing
persons, provided that "immediate family members" means such person's spouse,
parents, children, grandparents, grandchildren and any such person who is so
related by marriage such that this includes "step-" and "-
-5-
in law" relations as well as such persons so related by adoption), and any Plan
(as defined in the Prospectus) established exclusively for the benefit of such
persons or entities; (iii) a client of an investment adviser registered under
the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, as amended, or under applicable state
securities laws; and (iv) a person investing in a bank trust account with
respect to which the decision-making authority for investments made has been
delegated to the bank trust department. The amount of proceeds to the Company
will not be affected by eliminating commissions and marketing support fees
payable in connection with sales to investors purchasing through such registered
investment advisers or bank trust department. In addition, Brokers that have a
contractual arrangement with their clients for the payment of fees on terms that
are inconsistent with the acceptance of all or a portion of the commissions and
the marketing support fee may elect not to accept all or a portion of their
compensation in the form of commissions and the marketing support fees offered
by the Company for Shares that they sell. In that event, such Shares shall be
sold to the investor net of 6.5% commissions and the marketing support fee, at a
per share purchase price of $9.20.
In addition, in connection with the purchase and subsequent purchase of
certain minimum numbers of Shares, the amount of commissions otherwise payable
may be reduced in accordance with the volume discounts schedule set forth in the
Prospectus.
The Managing Dealer shall pay the Broker commissions and fees on Shares
purchased pursuant to the Company's Reinvestment Plan. In no event shall such
commissions and fees be subject to reduction or elimination.
3. Association with Other Dealers.
It is expressly understood between the Managing Dealer and the Broker that
the Managing Dealer may cooperate with other broker-dealers who are registered
as broker-dealers with the NASD and duly licensed by the appropriate regulatory
agency of each state in which they will offer and sell the Shares or with
broker-dealers exempt from all such registration requirements. Such other
participating broker-dealers may be employed by the Managing Dealer as brokers
on terms and conditions identical or similar to this Agreement and shall receive
such rates of commissions and fees as are agreed to between the Managing Dealer
and the respective other participating broker-dealers and as are in accordance
with the terms of the Registration Statement. The Broker understands that, to
that extent, such other participating broker-dealers shall compete with the
Broker in the sale of the Shares.
4. Conditions of the Broker's Obligations.
The Broker's obligations hereunder are subject, during the full term of
this Agreement and the Offering, to (a) the performance by the Managing Dealer
of its obligations hereunder; and (b) the conditions that: (i) the Registration
Statement shall become and remain effective; and (ii) no stop order shall have
been issued suspending the effectiveness of the Offering.
5. Conditions to the Managing Dealer's Obligations.
The obligations of the Managing Dealer hereunder are subject, during the
full term of this Agreement and the Offering, to the conditions that: (a) at the
effective date of the Registration Statement and thereafter during the term of
this Agreement while any Shares remain unsold, the Registration Statement shall
remain in full force and effect authorizing the offer and sale of the Shares;
(b) no stop order suspending the effectiveness of the Offering or other order
restraining the offer or sale of the Shares shall have been issued nor
proceedings therefor initiated or threatened by any state regulatory agency or
the SEC; and (c) the Broker shall have satisfactorily performed all of its
obligations hereunder.
6. Covenants of the Managing Dealer.

term of this Agreement, that:
(a) It shall use its best efforts to prevent the sale of the Shares
through persons other than registered NASD broker-dealers.
-6-
(b) It shall use its best efforts to cause the Company to maintain
the effectiveness of the Registration Statement and to file such applications or
amendments to the Registration Statement as may be reasonably necessary for that
purpose.
(c) It shall advise the Broker whenever and as soon as it receives
or learns of any order issued by the SEC, any state regulatory agency or any
other regulatory agency which suspends the effectiveness of the Registration
Statement or prevents the use of the Prospectus or which otherwise prevents or
suspends the offering or sale of the Shares, or receives notice of any
proceedings regarding any such order.
(d) It shall use its best efforts to prevent the issuance of any
order described herein at subparagraph (c) hereof and to obtain the lifting of
any such order if issued.
(e) It shall give the Broker written notice when the Registration
Statement becomes effective and shall deliver to the Broker such number of
copies of the Prospectus, and any supplements and amendments thereto, which are
finally approved by the SEC, as the Broker may reasonably request for sale of
the Shares.
(f) It shall promptly notify the Broker of any post-effective
amendments or supplements to the Registration Statement or Prospectus, and shall
furnish the Broker with copies of any revised Prospectus and/or supplements and
amendments to the Prospectus.
(g) To the extent to which the Managing Dealer has knowledge, it
shall keep the Broker fully informed of any material development to which the
Company is a party or which concerns the business and condition of the Company.
(h) In conjunction with the Company, it shall use its best efforts
to cause, at or prior to the time the Registration Statement becomes effective,
the qualification of the Shares for offering and sale under the securities laws
of such states as the Company shall elect.
7. Payment of Costs and Expenses.
The Broker shall pay all costs and expenses incident to the performance of
its obligations under this Agreement, including:
(a) All expenses incident to the preparation, printing and filing of
all advertising originated by it related to the sale of the Shares; and
(b) All other costs and expenses incurred in connection with its
sales efforts related to the sales of the Shares which are not expressly assumed
by the Company in its Managing Dealer Agreement with the Managing Dealer.
8. Indemnification.
(a) The Broker agrees to indemnify, defend and hold harmless the
Company, its affiliates and their or its officers, directors, trustees,
employees and agents, including the Managing Dealer, against all losses, claims,
demands, liabilities and expenses, joint or several, including reasonable legal
and other expenses incurred in defending such claims or liabilities, whether or
not resulting in any liability to the Company, its affiliates and their or its
officers, directors, trustees, employees or agents, which they or any of them
may incur arising out of the offer or sale by the Broker, or any person acting
on its behalf, of any Shares pursuant to this Agreement if such loss, claim,
demand, liability, or expense arises out of or is based upon (i) an untrue
statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact, or any omission or
alleged omission of a material fact, other than a statement, omission, or
alleged omission by the Broker which is also, as the case may be, contained in
or omitted from the Prospectus or the Registration Statement and which statement
or omission was not based on information supplied to the Company or the Managing
Dealer by such Broker, or (ii) the breach by the Broker, or any person acting on
its behalf, of any of the terms and conditions of this
-7-
Agreement. This indemnity provision shall survive the termination of this
Agreement.
(b) The Managing Dealer agrees to indemnify, defend and hold
harmless the Broker, its officers, directors, employees and agents, against all
losses, claims, demands, liabilities and expenses, including reasonable legal
and other expenses incurred in defending such claims or liabilities, which they
or any of them may incur, including, but not limited to, alleged violations of
the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, but only to the extent that such losses,
claims, demands, liabilities and expenses shall arise out of or be based upon
(i) any untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Prospectus or the
Registration Statement, as filed and in effect with the SEC, or in any amendment
or supplement thereto, or in any application prepared or approved in writing by
counsel to the Company and filed with any state regulatory agency in order to
register or qualify the Shares under the securities laws thereof (the "Blue Sky
applications"), or (ii) any omission or alleged omission to state therein a
material fact required to be stated in the Prospectus or the Registration
Statement or the Blue Sky applications, or necessary to make such statements,
and any part thereof, not misleading; provided, further, that any such untrue
statement, omission or alleged omission is not based on information included in
any such document which was supplied to the Managing Dealer, the Company, or any
officer of the Company by such Broker. This indemnity provision shall survive
the termination of this Agreement.
(c) No indemnifying party shall be liable under the indemnity
agreements contained in subparagraphs (a) and (b) above unless the party to be
indemnified shall have notified such indemnifying party in writing promptly
after the summons or other first legal process giving information of the nature
of the claim shall have been served upon the party to be indemnified, but
failure to notify an indemnifying party of any such claim shall not relieve it
from any liabilities which it may have to the indemnified party against whom
action is brought other than on account of its indemnity agreement contained in
subparagraphs (a) and (b) above. In the case of any such claim, if the party to
be indemnified notified the indemnifying party of the commencement thereof as
aforesaid, the indemnifying party shall be entitled to participate at its own
expense in the defense of such claim. If it so elects, in accordance with
arrangements satisfactory to any other indemnifying party or parties similarly
notified, the indemnifying party has the option to assume the entire defense of
the claim, with counsel who shall be satisfactory to such indemnified party and
all other indemnified parties who are defendants in such action; and after
notice from the indemnifying party of its election so to assume the defense
thereof and the retaining of such counsel by the indemnifying party, the
indemnifying party shall not be liable to such indemnified party under
subparagraphs (a) and (b) above for any legal or other expenses subsequently
incurred by such indemnified party in connection with the defense thereof, other
than for the reasonable costs of investigation.
